Do NOT use a cheap 500 watt power supply or you're doomed. As mentioned above get a good name brand power supply and that will work but won't leave room for upgrades later.

Brands I would consider a PSU from:
OCZ StealthXstream/Fatal1ty
BFG LS-series
Seasonic
Corsair
PC Power & Cooling
Silverstone
Antec

A 500w PSU will be alright if it is from a decent brand like those ones ^^
